A delicate italic slab serif with unbracketed, square-ended serifs and a consistently light, even stroke. The letterforms show a gentle calligraphic slant with smooth curves and restrained terminals, producing a clean rhythm without sharp contrast spikes. Proportions are comfortably balanced, with open counters and a slightly airy texture in text; capitals feel poised and classical while lowercase forms maintain clarity through simple, well-spaced construction. Numerals are similarly light and legible, with rounded shapes and modest, crisp serif detailing.
Well-suited to editorial typography where an italic voice is needed with more structure than a typical oldstyle italic—think pull quotes, intros, captions, and refined headings. It can also serve understated branding and packaging, as well as formal announcements or invitations where a light, classic tone is desired.
The overall tone is refined and literary, suggesting a quiet sophistication rather than loud display. Its slanted stance and crisp slab accents convey a composed, editorial character suited to cultured, traditional settings.
The design appears intended to blend the graceful motion of an italic with the stability and clarity of squared slab serifs, creating an elegant reading texture that remains disciplined and well organized.
In the text sample the font maintains an even gray value and a smooth baseline flow, with punctuation and curves staying understated rather than ornamental. The slab details read as precise and rectangular, giving structure to the otherwise airy, pen-like italic movement.
